Cute Tote To Sew

Is this adorable or what?!

I found this super cute tote to make over at Morgan Made It and I had to include it

My Son's Nursery

My oldest son recently had his 6th birthday.

(before the room was a bright neon green!)

I don't know why this one carries more significance for me than others but it does. It means he is not a toddler anymore. He is a boy. Granted a little boy, but still on his way to big-kid status. At 5 years old I could still call him a toddler, not now. He's a boy.

How Do You Decorate The Entire House?



It has been 6 months since we moved into our new-to-us house. I look around and my high hopes for having freshly painted walls in every room are being quickly replaced by reality. Before we moved in, I had a plan to paint the most hideous room:

Negotiating Means Talking, Right?

Re-using Plastic Bags

Do you re-use your plastic bags?

Do I feel like I've made progress or have I thrown in the towel?

Sunday Visits

At first I wasn't going to write today, I was just going to bop around around these blog hops. I have a super cold, plus it's cold outside and I just want to crawl back into bed! But then I realized blog hopping on Sunday  to meet new friends is similar to the pre-blog days of the after church meet & greet.
